This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I’m joined by Dale McRae, founder of Populus, UX strategist, creative thinker, and — as we jokingly establish during the episode — the Madonna of UX.

Because reinvention?
That’s kind of his thing.

What starts as a conversation about AI, technology, and user experience quickly turns into something much bigger: adaptation, identity, cynicism, creativity, and figuring out how to evolve without completely losing yourself in the process.

We talk about:

— AI and the future of creativity

— why cynicism can quietly kill curiosity

— reinventing yourself throughout your career

— navigating change in tech and design

— and how staying adaptable might be one of the most important creative skills you can have

It’s thoughtful, very funny, occasionally existential, and somehow manages to make conversations about UX feel weirdly personal.

Which is on brand for this podcast.

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I’m joined by vintage toy and textile collector Savannah Aspden — someone whose work lives at the intersection of nostalgia, memory, women’s history, and preserving the stories hidden inside everyday objects.

What starts as a conversation about antique toys and handmade quilts becomes something much deeper: why history matters, what gets forgotten, and how slowing down can reconnect us to creativity, identity, and meaning.

We talk about:

— growing up collecting with her grandfather

— why vintage objects carry emotional and cultural history

— women’s art forms that history often overlooked

— nostalgia, creativity, and the importance of preserving stories

— and what it means to care deeply in a world that moves too fast

It’s funny, unexpectedly emotional, and a reminder that sometimes the things we dismiss as “old stuff” are actually holding entire lives inside them.

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I’m joined by Chicago-based drag queen, cabaret performer, and all-around force of nature Ari Gato.

What starts as a conversation about drag quickly turns into something much deeper: identity, resilience, performance, and the complicated process of becoming yourself in public.

We talk about:

• discovering drag later in life
• building confidence through performance
• queer visibility and self-expression
• navigating rejection, criticism, and reinvention
• and why sometimes the version of yourself you create on stage helps you better understand the person behind it

It’s funny, chaotic, thoughtful, and very gay — but underneath all of that is a really honest conversation about creativity, survival, and learning how to take up space unapologetically.

And yes… we talk about the emotional damage of performing in bad lighting.

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I’m joined by Angela Deeds, founder of South of Somewhere Designs — a candle brand built on creativity, intention, and the idea that the smallest details can completely change how a space feels.What starts as a conversation about candle-making turns into something much deeper: building something from scratch, trusting your creative instincts, and figuring out how to turn an idea into something real.We talk about:— starting a product-based business from the ground up— the role of creativity in everyday life— building a brand that actually reflects you— and why sometimes the simplest ideas end up being the most meaningfulIt’s thoughtful, grounded, and a reminder that creativity doesn’t always have to be loud — sometimes it shows up in the quiet things we create for ourselves and others.

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I sit down with UK-based DJ and producer Jamie Unknown — an artist who’s quickly rising through the electronic music scene while staying grounded in something a lot of people lose along the way: authenticity.

From training to be a primary school teacher to playing festivals like Creamfields and Glastonbury, Jamie’s journey is anything but linear.

We talk about what it means to build a creative career without forcing yourself into a box — embracing different sounds, evolving your identity, and trusting your instincts even when you don’t have it all figured out.

We get into:

— why not having a defined “sound” can actually be a strength

— staying authentic in an industry that often rewards packaging

— trusting your gut over outside opinions

— and why creative paths are rarely ever linear

It’s honest, funny, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do as an artist… is just be yourself and figure it out as you go.

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I’m joined by illustrator and creative mind Jason Ooi, also known as McSpiky.

What starts as a conversation about illustration quickly turns into something much bigger: curiosity, creativity, and what it means to not put yourself in a box.

We talk about being “promiscuous” with your interests — exploring different skills, following what excites you, and giving yourself permission to try things without needing them to turn into something productive.

In a world that constantly asks you to specialize, Jason makes a strong case for doing the opposite.

We get into:

— learning new skills as an adult

— following curiosity instead of pressure

— balancing creative interests with real life

— and why not everything you do needs to become your identity

It’s thoughtful, funny, and a reminder that you’re allowed to evolve — as many times as you want.

To celebrate one year of the pod, let's go back to the beginning!

For the very first episode of GRAFIK CONTENT, I’m sitting down with none other than my sister from the same mister, Lorena Petrucci—osteopathic manual practitioner and the founder of Osteolistica. We dive into what’s in a brand name, growing up in the same household, grounding methods, and, of course, talk about osteopathy—what it is, who it helps (spoiler: everyone), and why Lorena is so passionate about it.

If you love sibling banter, insightful wellness tips, and a good laugh, you’re in the right place.

🎧 Tune in for:

✔️ What osteopathy actually is and how it can benefit you

✔️ Lorena’s gig moonlighting as a paramedic (just ask Gio)

✔️ Where the name Osteolistica came from

✔️ A behind-the-scenes look at launching a wellness brand

Listen now and let us know—have you ever tried osteopathy?

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I sit down with Citrine Cash — New York–based drag queen, fashion designer, and creative strategist, and certified It-Girl.

What starts as a conversation about drag and fashion quickly turns into something deeper: identity, self-expression, and what it really means to take up space in the world.

Citrine shares how growing up queer shaped her relationship with creativity, using style as a way to express herself before she had the confidence to use her voice.

We talk about:

• fashion and drag as self-actualization• building confidence from the outside in• authenticity vs. accessibility in creative work• navigating visibility in a hyper-online world• and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is be fully yourself, even if not everyone gets it

It’s honest, funny, a little unhinged (in the best way), and a reminder that your identity isn’t something to water down — it’s something to expand into.

This week on GRAFIK CONTENT, I sit down with writer and independent game developer Davis G. See — the creative mind behind the narrative game Desert of Ash: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay S*x Simulator.

Based in Edmonton, Davis writes fiction, essays, poetry, and interactive narrative games that explore the messy, complicated parts of being human. His newest project, Desert of Ash, is a post-apocalyptic visual novel that asks a surprisingly intimate question: what happens to connection, relationships, and sexuality when the world falls apart?

Because sure — survival is about food, water, and shelter.

But it’s also about companionship, desire, and the need to connect with other people.

In this episode, we dive into the creative process behind the game, how queer storytelling fits into speculative fiction, and why vulnerability might actually be the most powerful tool an artist has.

The conversation moves through everything from climate anxiety and creative burnout to ADHD, internet culture, and the complicated reality of putting deeply personal work out into the world — especially as a queer creator.

They also talk about the strange reality of releasing something you spent years making… and then just quietly hitting the publish button and hoping someone out there hears your creative shout into the void.

At its core, this episode is about something simple but powerful:

Art that actually says something real.

Because the work that resonates the most usually comes from the parts of ourselves we’re a little scared to show.

What makes a story meaningful?

According to storyteller and creator Tina Huynh… pretty much anything.

In this episode of GRAFIK CONTENT, I sit down with Tina Huynh — the creator behind Tales of the Town, a storytelling platform and live event series designed to bring people together through the power of honest, human stories.

What starts as a conversation about storytelling quickly turns into something deeper: a discussion about creativity, vulnerability, and why sharing our experiences (even the messy or awkward ones) might be one of the most powerful ways we connect with each other.

Tina shares how speaker training helped her unlock her own voice after years of feeling like she had to suppress it, and how telling personal stories out loud became a catalyst for healing and self-discovery.

The conversation explores the idea that stories don’t have to be dramatic or life-altering to matter. Sometimes the most impactful stories are the small, everyday moments that reveal what’s actually going on inside us — the thoughts, feelings, and perspectives that make us human.

We also touch on:

• why storytelling helps people feel less alone• the difference between external events and internal experiences• building community through creative expression• the awkward, funny, and unpredictable reality of hosting podcasts• and why sometimes the best conversations happen when you throw the structure out the window

If you’ve ever felt like your story “isn’t big enough,” this episode might just change your mind.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is simply say the thing out loud.
